You need to create your own layout (or modify an existing one). In this
layout, you should then create a new "paragraph type". I did this once for
the "Song"-layout (look in the wiki for Songbook-layout).
Here's what the entry looks like for a "Song":
# Song style definition
Style Song
Margin Dynamic
LatexType Environment
LatexName song
NeedProtect 1
NextNoIndent 1
LabelSep xxx
ParSkip 0.4
TopSep 1.3
BottomSep 0.7
ParSep 0.7
Align Block
AlignPossible Block, Left
LabelType Counter_Section
# standard font definition

Family Sans
Series Bold
Size Large
EndFont
End
The field 'LatexType' instructs LyX that this will use an environment with
the name given by the field 'LatexName'. You could try changing 'song'
into 'ex' and see what this will give you. Then try asking specific
questions to the list when you run into problems.
You should probably read the tutorials by Steve Litt first though:
