I have a desk job, too. Here's how I get mine in:
I don't have close parking, so I get an automatic 2,000 steps just getting to my job. I walk at lunchtime for 1/2 hour or run an errand (2,000 more steps just getting to the car to run the errand). I walk the dogs after work for 1/2 hour - 4,000 more steps Plus, I try to walk to the various depts at work 1-2 times a day for a couple hundred more steps. Grass cutting, add a couple hundred more steps, grocery shopping after work, a couple hundred more steps, etc. I can usually nail the 10,000 and then some *IF* I walk at lunchtime.

Walk to work!
I have a %*/?@ desk job as well. I walk to work though--over 3 miles. I think about 6600 steps. Of course that only works for me May through September/October here in lovely Northeast Ohio. I generally walk part of the way home as well. The 10000 steps is hard still.

Frankly, I don't know how anyone gets 10k a day! I don't wear my pedometer when I exercise, so I am happy if I get 2000-3000 per day; a really good day for me would be over 5k!
