Your problem is definately that you are not using enough weight. I promise you your legs are MUCH stronger than what you perceive as logical. I use to leg press 120kg I thought it was not bad at all for someone just starting. Then a mate of mine told me this exact thing and we loaded 200kg on the machine which I could also do. Moral of the story- when doing legs, be an animal and not a girl.

Also try and decrease the reps to 8, where in these 8 reps you need to heavy enough that you can't do one more if someone held a gun against your head. Hamstrings? Try and bend a little as well as this brings out the hamstring. Just like stiff leg deadlifts.
