Summary: 


We've seen the Enterprise floor it (warp out of planetary orbit) many
times.  I think what Kirk meant when he talked about risking using
warp drive while still in the solar system referred to the fact that
the new engines had not yet been tried at warp speed.  Ordinarily,
their first trial would take place in interstellar space, lest a
matter-anti-matter imbalance cause an explosion that could shower
antiparticles onto inhabited planets and throughout well-travelled
space lanes.
