At the moment his butt hits the floor, say "SIT" - and then reward. He'll gradually get the hang that the command and the reward are associated, and will perform happily. Try getting him to sit at kerbs when crossing roads. Try games of fetch with him, only offering a reward when he sits on returning the toy. Believe me, he'll soon get the hang of it!
When I brought Lexi to puppy kindergarten, this is the method they used, and it worked for us!
