Believe it or not lunges also work the Hamstring area. (Freehand Front Lunges, Alternated Freehand Front Lunges, Dumbbell Front Lunges)
Word of caution though, if you have bad knees, start with zero hand weights and only do a few a day, increasing reps slowly to help condition the knee joint and stabilizer muscles. Lunges are great for legs, but a tad rough on an unconditioned knee joint
Leg Press work the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, quadriceps, gastrocnemius and the soleus.
Squats work the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, quadriceps, gastrocnemius and the soleus.
Lunges work the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, quadriceps, gastronemius and the soleus.
Leg curls work the hamstrings, biceps femoris, semitendinosus and the semimembranosus.
All the above are assisted with the Adductor Magnus, Adductor Longus, Adductor Brevis, Pectineus and the Gracilis.
That should give you a few various exercises to mix up, that work the same areas. I know I get tired of doing leg curls all the time.

Oh and very welcome. Glad I could offer some assistance
