Instead of a crunch or sit up keep only one leg bent on the floor, put the other foot over your knee, then with you opposite elbow, move up like a situp.
side plank pose

you can start this pose leaning on your elbow if you prefer.
also, lay on your back, grasp a 55cm exercise ball with your feet and rock your feet back and forth. The higher your feet are on the ball, and the further to each side you go, the more you are working your obliques (you should feel it after the first few rocks)
these will give you rock hard obliques
The interior and exterior obliques run crosswise (like the pockets run on some pairs of pants), so you would need to do exercises that would move in that direction for optimal results. Try doing some alternating crunches. You can also do alternating leg raises by raising your legs toward first the left elbow, then towards the right. I would recommend starting off with three sets of 12 reps for each exercise. Later, you could try doing the leg raises off of a decline bench for added resistance.
