Hi Daniel,
you need to quote the entire form, i.e. the progn;
(eval-after-load 'org
'(progn
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
'("m" "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n?\n#+end_src"))
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
'("j"
"#+begin_quote\n||Dr|Cr|\n|-\n|?|$||\n|||$|\n#+end_quote"))))
This is because the entire form is stored for execution after loading org - but
in your case it was
evaluated immediately...
