Squats shouldn't be that hard on your knees if done properly. If done incorrect then yes they can be hard on your knees. In short, if your knees stay behind your toes and the weight is through your heels, your knees should be fine.
The movement of the squat is like sitting on the crapper. You initiate it with you hips and lead with your bum. Doing squats correctly you should be able to wiggle your toes through the movement.
