Draco also states that Montague would find himself in between Hogwarts and Borgin & Burkes.  Sometimes he would hear what was going on inside Hogwarts and other times he would hear what was going on inside Borgin & Burkes.  I can only assume what happened is that one of the times that the anti-apparition enchantment was taken off for apparition lessons would have allowed him to apparate out of the chest while on the Hogwarts side.
