My  first thought was - oh well JKR is tired of being asked why James 
and Lily  didn't Apparate or use a Portkey or otherwise escape, so she 
made a new  rule (Apparition requires wands) and made James and Lily 
wandless in that  scene.

Well I've always thought that apparition required a wand because it was  
magic.  and magic in her universe requires a wand.
 
Is it possible that portkeys and apparition don't work in a house  protected 
by fidelius? Or that the house was protected by additional  charms and wards 
to make apparition impossible within the house.  The  trio have to Apparate 
onto the front step at Grimmauld Place.  At the  Burrow everyone seems to walk 
out beyond the protective shield to  apparate although they did portkey in 
originally.
 
That said James running to check the door wandless is odd.  He  grew up in 
the wizard world, reaching for a wand should have been second nature  to him.
