In an office, I can intersperse social contact with programming. And the socializing requires almost no effort, since there is more common ground (job, commute, lunch, etc) At home, I'm isolated for 8-10 hours straight. By dinner time, I'm mentally exhausted, making it harder to drum up energy to go out and meet new people.
