Tri newbie.. bike to run transition

Hi all, I posted before a while ago. I'm deep into my training program now and maybe I'm ignorant but I'm wondering about something. The Transition from Bike to run when using clip in shoes.

Now I see the advantage that you can jump into the shoes and start pedaling immediately, but... You totally can't run in those things right? So after you are done with the bike you leave them attached, unvelcro them, jump off and then sit down and tie on your running shoes?

Since this is my first tri, I was thinking to just use my old running flats to bike/run with, just tighten down the straps on the pedals, and this will give me a quick transition off the bike, if I get into it more I will go with shoes/pedals. I was just interested in the real story behind the above....
