This has been a major issue in myself, but the most important thing I realized is to not make it an issue. The more you think about setting up times and having a meditation routine the more you will have difficulty maintaining it. For over 5 months I didn't meditate at all, I just for some reason couldn't do it. Then seemingly out of the blue I got the intense desire to start meditating again, so I simply did.
Find a time that works best for you, for me it is in the morning because the roomates aren't up and I am already in a relaxed state. But most of all, don't force meditation.
Something that also helps is breathing exercises. If you can't find time to sit in a pose, then just focus on your breathing for about 10 minutes.
