Unless I've missed the point, you are talking about in-text cites.  If so,
and if apalike otherwise meets the requirements you are looking for, I think
all you need to do is copy the apalike.sty (.sty not .bst) to another file
(say, mytemp.sty) and change the line (line 26 in my copy) which reads:
\def\@cite#1#2{(#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi)}
   to
\def\@cite#1#2{#1\if@tempswa (#2) \fi}
then instead of \documentstyle[...,apalike,...]{article} (or report) use
\documentstyle[...,mytemp,...]{article}
 
As usual, I am probably demonstrating my ignorance, but this change worked
for me when I tested it.
 
Regards,   George
