Personally I had a similar problem to you, would always flare up when doing martial arts etc. the way I got rid of it was pretty much heaps of stretching almost everyday. Just stretch lightly =]
Passive stretching has been pretty much the most useless thing I have done for any soft tissue injury.

google, and look at first few steps for hamstring rehab
@Bloke, two words: FOAM ROLLER
best thing for releasing the hamstrings. better than stretching as it's like a blend of massage and stretching (myfascial release).
they're pretty decently priced and come in various sizes and firmness.
Warm them up first and then roll using your bodyweight to apply pressure as you get used to it.
my hamstrings are awfully tight too (cant touch my toes while standing up) but foam rolling doesnt do much for it, it doesnt hurt at all. So whats the next thing up from foam roller?
Are they causing you any other issues apart from not being able to touch your toes.
