Not only do tight hip flexors limit your 
overall range of motion, thus, preventing you from going full depth on your squat, but they also weaken your glutes, increasing the workload on your back and hamstrings. This has the concurrent effect of raising the risk of injury during squats as well as overhead lifts.
A great way to fix this is the Seated Figure Four Stretch. Not only can you do this in the gym, but you can also do it while sitting on your fanny at the desk, couch, or any other chair. The beauty of it is you can also do it in the middle of a meeting (unless people can’t get over the grimace on your face!!!!).
