Since Arthur can apparate to work, IMO a wizard can apparate to 
designated arrival/departure places by not just anywhere in the DoM.

When the members of the DA run from the DEs, they lock the doors in 
one of the rooms.  The DEs do not apparate into this room but come 
through a door that Luna was just trying to lock.  

DD's anti-aparation jinx was to keep the DEs from apparating out of 
the binds and continuing the fight.  It appears that they could 
apparate with in a room but not in and out of the rooms.  Otherwise 
the Order and DD would have apparated into the room and not entered 
by the door at the top of the stairs.
