Org-mode rebinds C-c C-y to org-evaluate-time-range, so you are not calling
the function that you think you are calling when you press C-c C-y in an
org-mode buffer. It only works in *other* buffers :-)

If you don't care about org-evaluate-time-range, you can probably rebind C-c C-y
in a hook:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (function (lambda () 
 	  	  		     (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-y")
				                    (lambda() (interactive)
				 	              (org-insert-time-stamp nil t nil nil nil nil))))))
