What Hell-met said is true, but what you are experiencing is a recent bug.
With the latest TF2 patch, they've introduced a few bugs. One being that some people get stuck on team selection after the server switches map. Another is that people can get stuck waiting to respawn after dieing. The solution for your issue is to change class. You will spawn immediately after doing so and can then change back to what you were.
I've tried to figure out the cause and it may have something to do with typing in chat or having some other VGUI window open (e.g. scores) while about to respawn. I don't know, just a guess based on some patterns I've seen.
