Per the rules, any existing time delay (field reset or field timeout, etc) immediately ends, and the 6 minute team timeout begins. It behooves the student to let the ref know the timeout is coming and stand next to the ref to hand it over at the right moment, though I think most refs will give you the maximum possible legal time, I wouldn't count on it.
