With periodic boundary conditions, nothing is ever really out of the
cell because everything is periodic. To make things look nicer you can
post-process the trajectory with the 'autoimage' command from cpptraj,
which will center and re-image your trajectory so that your solute
appears to be in the center of the unit cell. See the manual for full
details.
