It is meant as a traditional form of greeting or sign of respect. A story in the LA Times (http://articles.latimes.com/1997/nov/08/local/me-51420) explained it as a means of showing others that their tongue was pink and that they were trustworthy. Tibetan folklore tells a story of a malicious ruler that had a black tongue. As Buddhists, Tibetans believe in reincarnation. Sticking out your tongue signifies that you are an honest and decent person, innocent of evil deeds, and thus not the reincarnation of an evil tyrant.
In Tibetan culture, sticking out the tongue is a way to show respect and greet others. It is believed that sticking out the tongue shows that you are not harmful and that you come in peace. It is also a sign of humility and a symbol of greeting in Tibetan Buddhism.
