On my K10D, SR begins when the shutter button is half-pressed. It then
takes a moment to stabilize the image; stabilization is indicated in
the viewfinder with a "shaking hand" symbol. If you fully depress the
shutter before this symbol appears, SR may be ineffective, and my
experience suggests that the image may even be degraded, compared to
SR being turned off. Once you release the shutter button on the K10D,
SR becomes inactive, and you have to start the cycle over again.

My understanding is that on the K-5, SR remains active after your
release the shutter button, for whatever (configurable) period of time
the meter remains active.
