Interrupt the character.

Have you read The Hobbit? Gandalf had to make a lengthy explanation, which he didn't want to get boring, so he set up the dwarves and Bilbo to interrupt him from time to time. From a cat flashing by to another character getting in, there is much you can do.

Having the character unwilling to talk, but being coaxed into telling the story little by little is another way to achieve this.
