Make sure your knees are behind your toes when you go down. So it's like you're trying to sit on a chair. Lighten the weight and go down slow and controlled until you get the form down (no bouncing). Wear a belt and use a squat/step box if you have to.
Believe or not, you can get bigger legs by doing other stuff besides barbel squats. I have a bad lower back so i can't go too crazy with barbel squats. I've seen a lot of gains by doing leg press and hack squats to failure (with a spotter of course).
