Dan Pirvu, 26, was also hit with a five-year ban, prohibiting him entering the entire London Underground network.
He was witnessed masturbating with his trousers pulled down on the District Line platform of West Ham Underground Station at 9.05pm on Friday, November 17, last year.
At Inner London Crown Court Pirvu, of Ripple Road, Barking received nine months imprisonment after being convicted of exposure.
He also will also sign the Sex Offenders Register for ten years and be subject to a five year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which includes the tube ban.
The court heard a member of the public approached a member of TfL staff and reported Pirvu for exposing himself.
The member of rail staff flagged this to the CCTV control room, who could immediately see Pirvu on the platform with his trousers exposing both his bottom and genitals.
Pirvu was also witnessed by the TfL staff member with his trousers around his knees, exposing himself, and causing members of the public to move away.
Pirvu was reported immediately to British Transport Police, who attended the station and arrested Pirvu at 9.13pm.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Michael Taylor said: “There is no place for this kind of behaviour on the rail network and we will work quickly to apprehend these kinds of offenders.
"I hope this sentence, along with the Sexual Harm Prevention Order will give him time allow him to reconsider his actions and prevent him from offending again in the future."
