I think of exercising as a necessity in my life and make time for it as such; similar to how you're able to brush your teeth everyday - make time for it. Prioritize it and don't compromise - I promise as you get into the routine it gets easier.
I also can't wake up early (I've tried morning workouts too), I used to work out immediately after work. Find a gym close to work, it will help avoid the traffic from your commute home. I now work out at lunch, typically it takes about an hour and fifteen minutes (don't forget to shower or your coworkers will hate you).
You might also be able to motivate yourself with Jerry Seinfeld's "Don't Break the Chain" method: http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-se...
Strive for 5 days a week (this makes it easy to workout on work days and frees up your weekends), I like to do them in order but balance them as you choose. If you miss a day don't stress, just don't let it break your stride. Also, ease into it, don't try to "hulk-out" your first week and go crazy.. you don't have to prove anything to anyone, remember: you're doing this for yourself. (It's also okay to ask people in the gym for suggestions, advice, and for help - most people don't mind).
Hope this helps!
