Does passing through an "area denial" spell trigger damage?

Spells such as "stone rain" are often called area denial spells, since they make an area very bad to stay in.
Would a character who starts outside of the spells area, pass though the area, but exit the area all within their movement and without the casting magician getting an action, suffer the damaging effects of the spell?
Stone Rain for example says " Each round, more stones rain down on the targets, who continue to take
damage as long as they remain within the area of effect.", which causes me to think that only those within the area when the magician has his action suffer the damage. I mean you are not really denying a choke-point to the enemy are you?
