can you stay out of jail if your lawyer appeals it?

It is up to the judge. Bond can be set, and the sentenced stayed pending appeal. Other times, I have seen Judges just take them in and let the appeal go down with the defendant in custody.
The worse the crime, the less likely the stay pending the appeal.

Many times yes, if you post an appeal bond.
