Lantus has a pretty flat action profile. And it sounds like your basal insulin needs increase sharply in the early evening. Lantus can't cope with this, so maybe you should consider using another insulin. Some NPH injected at lunch time should do the trick. It peaks at 6-10 hours, and will give you the extra cover you need from 7pm to midnight.
