with a strong enough flap of the wings, dragons can lift off, but when out of practice or similar, it is easier to lift off with a running start... that is also why airplanes tend to go along the ground before lifting off (except VTOL aircraft)...
the reasons behind such can be ascribed to elementary aerodynamic physics...
remember that tintaglia could take off/land in the traders concourse in bingtown/trehaug... neither of those spots have considerable running space... Dragons, when in perfect health, will use their wings combined with strong leg muscles to lift off... the wings pushing the air down just as the legs push up in a leap...
