Jahongir, if we say that something is out of the way, we usually mean that it's not near the way (road or path) that most of us follow. In other words it's remote or far off.
The hyphens in 'out-of-the-way' are added to help people see that the four small words act as a single description when used as an adjective. For instance, "Those fishermen live in an out-of-the-way village (on an island accessible only by boat)." Or, "Timid birds nest in out-of-the-way places (where human beings aren't likely to come)."

Jahongir,
Often you can say 'out of my way' or 'out of his way' instead. e.g.
1) I have to GO OUT OF MY WAY to be nice to her. Normally we don't click (don't relate to each other).
2) I think that Leo is the cab driver who drove them from Highline Hospital to Swedish Hospital free of charge. Walt doesn't look like the kind of guy (man) who would GO OUT OF HIS WAY to do something like that.
