How do I turn off the microphone in iMessage?

iMessage has a creepy tendency since the update to record what I say when I put my phone down on the table. I don't want this to happen, but I see no way to turn off the microphone. This is a creepy feature of my phone that I really wish did not exist. Please tell me how to make it stop before I make a fool of myself sending a voice message to someone by accident.

I've certainly heard of people hitting it accidentally. However, it doesn't make any noise when it activates. Does this happen when you were using Messages and then put the phone down without either locking the screen or going back to the Home screen? Or does it happen at other times? Do you see evidence of a voice recording in a message bubble?
